Description

This big-hearted romp from New York City to Hollywood, CA leads Oscar to the queer joy, love, and liberation that eluded him 141 years ago, with the attendant themes of diversity, identity, and inclusion beautifully expressed in the film's original song, "Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken", based on one of Wilde's most popular quotes. Filmed in London and in multiple locations across the United States, the film stars West End star Oscar Conlon-Morrey as Oscar Wilde, and features film/TV/stage veterans Rosemary Harris and Kate Burton.
